Misadventures in sound #1

Ah, good to be back. Not blogging has been like Snoopy without his kennel, Travis Bickle without his mirror, Anne Widdecombe without her heroin.

>The plan

Later on today, I will present the first of ten radio shows for community station Refresh FM. This will be the first of many blogs as I record, for the anus of hustory, the experience of clattering together ten radio shows on a budget of sixty two pence, a button, pocket fluff and a used train ticket to Hazel Grove.

Here's the explainy bit. Refresh FM operates under a Restricted Service Licence to the good people of Manchester. It is broadcasting now and will continue to do so until April 23rd. The aim is to promote Christian music, which may not fill your britches with glee, and neither will it fill your ears with electronica... but it does mean I have a show at 9pm on weekdays for the next fortnight.

>The shows

It all happens on 87.7FM in the Manchester area, and here are the show times:

Monday April 10th 9-11pm 'The Quite Early Show'
Tuesday April 11th 9-11pm 'The Quite Early Show'
Wednesday April 12th 9-11pm 'Theatre Of Noise'
Thursday April 13th 9-11pm 'The Quite Early Show'
Friday April 14th 9-11pm 'The Quite Early Show'

Off to nanas for pies and tea. Then...

Monday April 17th 9-11pm 'The Quite Early Show'
Tuesday April 18th 9-11pm 'The Quite Early Show'
Wednesday April 19th 9-11pm 'Theatre Of Noise'
Thursday April 20th 9-11pm 'The Quite Early Show'
Friday April 21st 9-11pm 'The Quite Early Show'

>The licks

If your eyes have been freshened with cucumber slices and dog licks, you will have seen there are two different shows. The Quite Early Show includes music, chat and vague silliness, while Theatre Of Noise involves a lot of loud guitars, waxing hairy men, destroying bad Christian CDs, and lots of complaints from concerned Christians.

Both will be presented by me and twin brother Lee Moore, but it is I, dear reader, that shall be updating this blog as the two weeks progress.

Happy reading (here) and listening (on t'wireless)...
